Parampara

About Lord Sri Krishna

He is Supreme
Personality of
Godhead

Krishna & His

inner spirit is
non-different

Krishna is absolute
ie. He is not
different then his
Names, Forms,
Qualities, Pastimes
etc.

This absolute position of

Krishna is difficult to
understand if someone is
not a Devotee in
Parampara (Disciplic
Succession)

Srimad Bhagavad Gita - Preface

Mayavada-bhasya
Scholars, Politicians, Philosophers and Swamis writing commentary on Srimad Bhagavad
Gita, without perfect knowledge of Krsna, try to banish or kill Krsna, such unauthorized
commentary is known as Mayavada-bhasya
Lord Caitanya has warned us about these
unauthorized commentaries
CC Mad 6.169
Mayavadi-bhasya sunile haya sarva nasa

Srila Vyasadeva presented the Vedanta

philosophy for the deliverance of
conditioned souls, but if one hears the
commentary of Sankaracarya, everything
is spoiled.

Why? Certainly bewildered on the path

of spiritual guidance and will not be able
to go back to home, Back to Godhead.

Srimad Bhagavad Gita - Preface

Purpose of Srimad Bhagavad Gita As It Is

Guide Conditioned Soul to the

same purpose for which Krsna
descends to this planet once in
day of Brahma (8,600,000,000
Years)

This purpose is stated in

Bhagavad Gita & we have to
accept it as it is, otherwise no
point in understanding Gita &
its speaker Krsna
To interpret Bhagavad Gita
without any reference to the
will of Krsna is greatest
offence b/c it defeats the whole
purpose.
In order save oneself one
must understand Sri Krsna as
was directly understood by
Arjuna, Krsnas first disciple
& fulfill mission of life

KC movement is very essential for human

society as it defeats the mundane
speculators and make them understand
Krsnas position and their factual position
as eternal servant of Lord and revive their
eternal relationship. Hence every living
being should hear for their own interest.

In Kaliyuga people in general think

advancement in material comforts
(sense gratification) will make them
happy, they are unaware of the
stringent laws of the material nature
which is binding them.
Instead of satisfying their own material
sense, one has to satisfy the senses of the
Lord, That is the highest perfection of life.
Lord Krsna wants this & He demands it.
This is central point of BG and KCM
teaches this Theme, on should take help
from KCM & derive the greatest benefit
of studying Bhagavad Gita As It Is and
become pure devotee of Lord
